Have you ever asked yourself what differentiates a student apartment from a "normal" apartment? The (private) student apartment providers would probably list the following characteristics: student accommodation has communal areas, on-site support for advising and assisting the students and the apartments can be rented for a fixed term based around semester dates at an all-inclusive rent. Naturally, the apartments are also furnished to save students the expense of buying their own furniture.
